I would have thought you would have well and truely worn your kites out within a year.

PS I also think kites aren't getting better and better these days. Just getting tweaked for more specialist riding. my 2011 c4 way better than the 2013 c4 for my riding!.. sigh!

Same model, always new kites.

I bought several in blow outs...this is my 5th now...brand new.And one more brand new at home.

The low end of the Fuse is not like the Dyno 2011. Need to test in higher winds now.

I assume the Fuse therefore has a higher top end. Maybe it will replace my 16...

But I am trying to convince North to do the Dyno 18 again. It is just such a good kite.And if they don't do it, I will ask them to make a special Airstyle Kite and I will sell them!Plus the North bar with Microloop!I am sure I can sell several !!!

HiI wonder, when do you take a new kite? When wear and tear starts showing or do you notice the flying characteristics to change.
